Hi! Did you enjoy your holidays? I think that my holidays were short and cloudy! I need more sunny days! After being out of the blogosphere a couple of days, the update is being hard. I can´t forget all your sweet comments, in my previous post, thank you ladies!

I´m late with the Burda challenge, because March has finished. I want to remember you what is this: in this challenge hosted by La Inglesita, we have to sew every month a garment from the Burda magazine, and in this way we can buy the following number of the issue.

Last week I told you, that I liked the hooded cape from March issue (here), but it had something strange that I didn´t love, so I copied the pattern to change it. All the alterations I have made, are explained in my previous post (here), alterations like change the hem and the size and removed that ugly rope!

I have not sewn the back with the front piece, I have only put a metallic button on place, because when the weather is windy is a perfect element to wear the hooded cape in a comfortable way and don´t fly!

I have sewn lining in contrast to give a colour touch. Do you like the pockets? They are very well, aren´t they? First I couldn´t understand Burda´s instruction about constructing the pocket, but then I remembered Rosy´s instructions about the fucshia coat´s pocket, and I made something similar.

I love the result :-) it´s sooo comfy and apart of this, all the capes have a special vintage touch, a historical elegance that in my case is more modern because of the pattern pieces. It´s the first cape in my closet and I think that I have to sew a cape for the winter weather, but this is a thing that we can discuss at another time.
